Implement support for TYPE_EXISTS/TYPE_SIZE/TYPE_ID_LOCAL/TYPE_ID_REMOTE relocations. These are examples of type-based relocations, as opposed to field-based relocations supported already. The difference is that they are calculating relocation values based on the type itself, not a field within a struct/union. Type-based relos have slightly different semantics when matching local types to kernel target types, see comments in bpf_core_types_are_compat() for details. Their behavior on failure to find target type in kernel BTF also differs. Instead of "poisoning" relocatable instruction and failing load subsequently in kernel, they return 0 (which is rarely a valid return result, so user BPF code can use that to detect success/failure of the relocation and deal with it without extra "guarding" relocations). Also, it's always possible to check existence of the type in target kernel with TYPE_EXISTS relocation, similarly to a field-based FIELD_EXISTS. TYPE_ID_LOCAL relocation is a bit special in that it always succeeds (barring any libbpf/Clang bugs) and resolved to BTF ID using **local** BTF info of BPF program itself. Tests in subsequent patches demonstrate the usage and semantics of new relocations.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
